....The loss of your safety goggles is more upsetting than the loss of your dog.

....anything you say that is weird is automatically reduced to "it must be robotics stuff" by your non-FIRST friends

....time spent studying for exams is time not spent on the robot.

lol thats kind of cruel!

-when you spend tons of time trying to find a way to get on an FRC team!:mad:

You know you've overdosed when you can rattle off the complete weight, strength, and composition of every building material there is.(Mostly aluminum, carbon composite, and wood.)

When you have dreams of finding a place to build your mock up arena to practice in. (true story: Mentor Bill Findley)

When you sit on a pit cart in front of your school, posting on chiefdelphi (huzzah school wireless).

I've done that outside our shop before, when no one with a key has shown up yet.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you're constantly in time crunch mode during build season, even if you're not behind schedule.

When you try EXTREMELY hard not to freak out as you hand a customer his exact change: $16.29 and then do later when telling everybody at robotics about it

When you spend over half of a physics class working on designs claiming "We're doing real world physics applications!"

when you spend the rest of said class period working studiously on homework...until you get to a problem that discusses how to make a giant ball fit through a ring

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
 

...you constantly have wrenches and calculators in your pocket once build starts.

...when the only excuse you give your parents for buying new computer parts is "I need them for robotics!!"...even though you can barely do anything in Inventor:p :D

...the only reason u got a laptop for christmas was to use during the season. Then, when ur dad says u can't take it, u get depressed and stop talking to him for the rest of the weekend.

A burrito at the local taqueria is $6.75. I love it.


I've done this =p, Except it was engineering class and not phys.


So true. I almost always have a 17mm wrench and a TI-85 with me in the shop (17mm for the mill, TI-85 for the maths.)
